September 28 was a big day for SunRail as the Federal Transit Administration announced the signing of a federal grant agreement to extend SunRail commuter rail service 17.2 miles from southern Orlando to Osceola County.

SunRail trains were abuzz with activities as FDOT, local elected officials and celebrity guests joined with passengers on-board trains for a day-long celebration marking SunRail’s First Anniversary of service.

Sponsored by AASHTO, the national contest asks State DOT employees and private citizens to send in photographs and videos of people, projects, and personal experiences that demonstrate the benefits of transportation.

FDOT District Four has received another award for the Dixie Highway Flyover project, a four-lane bridge that moves traffic over the Hillsboro Canal and a busy rail crossing between Deerfield Beach and Boca Raton.

SunRail continues to gain stream and generate interest. In August, the media and members of the Central Florida Commuter Rail Commission got a sneak peek of the first rail car that arrived in Central Florida.
